MGO was intended to be sold separately way back when, but we got the main chunk of it for free. Then people forget we also got a whole new mode, Team Sneaking, the other week for free as well.
Metalmurphy said:Erm, no, they're charging for an expantion pack, that brings a new mode, as well as 3 maps, 2 skills and 2 characters.
Shito said:So, did anyone manage to access the reward shop before it was locked down? Do we know what's in there?
Shito said:Concerning this IP blocking thing: you do understand it only concerns the MGO shop, right, and not the access to the game itself?
Because, yeah, it's an half-assed patch that's really lame, but for it to deserve such a huge reaction from everyone...?
+ Access to the Survival LobbiesSumGamer said:You get 2 skills for free with 1.10.
They are charging for
- 2 character you cant choose on your free will.
- 3 maps you will not get to play coz nobody gets it.

Can we move on from this "they're only charging for nothing!" argument? We're turning in circles since the first annoucement there.

More like 10,000 for the crappy colors, 50,000 for the red one.SumGamer said:I did. I don't see anything new in there though, by 'new' I mean those weren't available when you first create your character. Meaning that at this stage you can only buy stuff that's availableon the first day. I think there are some new helmet like the berret though. Can't remember the price but I think they range aroun 500 RP.

500 free points for characters created between launch and 7/16 (and 10 free points daily I believe).News Bot said:...And we're only given 510 RP?
Die, Konami.
Killthee said:500 free points for characters created between launch and 7/16 (and 10 free points daily I believe).
Points can also be earned when playing Survival Mode in the Survival Lobby (requires Gene Expansion purchase, Lobby is only open on weekends from 18:00 - 22:00 [PDT], due to the shop troubles Survival Matches have been canceled for this weekend).
Survival Lobby Info:
Rewards:
Participation: 30 Points
1 win: 50 Points
2 wins: 150 Points
3 wins: 200 Points
4 wins: 250 Points
5 wins: 500 Points
The rules are:
12 Players
FF On
Unique Char Off
Enemy Nametags On
Silent Mode Off
Auto Teams Off
Team Switch Positions On
Ghost Pranks Off
TK Kick Off
Survival is not a new rule, it's just a gameplay mode. You play all the other rules (TDM, Res, Cap, Base, Sne, TSNE) and the last team standing wins. Time limit for all rules is 5 minutes with 2 rounds and 20 tickets for TDM/Extra time off for Cap.
Instead of making a room you make a team. Up to 5 other players can join your team. You then compete against another team. There's also a Survival Match List in the Survival Lobby that list all the currently engaged teams in Survival Matches.

NeoUltima said:Couldn't they just find a way to stick the expansion pack on the store? Ugh... Can't even get into their crappy store, and even if I do manage to buy it, nobody will be playing the new maps cause they can't get into the store either. Ugh...stupid Konami
I doubt the PS Store is setup to work with the system Konami is using with MGO DLC. When you buy DLC off the MGO Shop you're not buying/downloading the content like you would in the PS Store, you're buying the addition of your Game ID into the "DLC member" list the server keeps. Using this method Konami can charge multiple times for DLC if characters on the same system use different Game ID's and they probably don't have to share revenue with Sony.NeoUltima said:Couldn't they just find a way to stick the expansion pack on the store?

News Bot said:I love how all of the latest MGO news in the Online News section of the main menu ends with "We apologise for the inconvenience" or "We sincerely apologise for all ongoing inconvenience". Not a single speck of good news.
Morons.
The Faceless Master said:is there a reason why this update is so huge?

Kagari said:
Correct, it includes the GENE expansion pack.BeeDog said:It most likely stealth-adds the maps and the new character models. I guess the add-on you buy is just an unlocker. Might be wrong though.

Miburou said:Seems Konami doesn't want my money. Says online payment not available in my region. Tell me again why they are not using the PSN?
From what I've heard, the region of the game decides what servers you connect to.Miburou said:Saudi Arabia. That's the region I choose when registering for that Konami/Game ID crap, so I thought I was safe.
My copy of MGS4 is North American, and my PS3 is Japanese, so I have no idea which region I'm playing against in MGO.:lol

Wurm said:My last post on this topic was relatively positive. This is now slowly souring. After finally getting to my PS3 this weekend and hoping this had all blown over.. to receive the MGO Shop Maintenance Page after 3 DAYS is pretty mind boggling when you consider this Add-On is the first source of major direct revenue MGO would be generating for Konami.
I would like to give you my money, perhaps Konami, so you can afford a server or something to deal with internet commerce in the year 2000-and-fucking-8.

I just picture the MGO Broom-Cupboard department of Konami Online being the solitary workplace of one poor japanese guy flipping the fuck out.
